CORNWALL — Cornwall has chosen not to opt out of a state program that would allow mini homes to be erected adjacent to existing homes. These homes, according to the state plan, would be used to house the elderly. The program was discussed at the Tuesday, Oct. 3, meeting of the Cornwall selectmen.

SHARON — Phase one of the walking trail at Veterans Field in Sharon is now complete and, just in time for leaf season, it’s ready for residents of all area towns of all ages to come out and take a hike.
The pathway now extends about a quarter mile. It will eventually double in size, to a half mile. It’s an easy distance for walkers who want a light workout; more ambitious exercisers can traverse the trail multiple times.

The cows who had been recruited for the task of dropping a moist chip on one square (marked off in a large field) apparently weren’t in a hurry to deliver their parcels.
With that story making its rounds at this year’s harvest season festivities, it was a relief that on Saturday, Sept. 9, the game came to a head after only 20 minutes.
